this may be a really newby question but google isnt my friend at the moment. i duel booted my macbook with windows xp and i want to upgrade to vista. can i just upgrade or is there another process i need to go through? i have the partition on the 4 letter one not the fat one. and the vista i have is vista ultimate sp2 64 bit. will that be ok?

i have vista 64 bit installed on my macbook under bootcamp for gaming, i have the macbook (not pro) and 64 bit is not officially supported and you cant run the mac os x driver cd as easily.

workaround to install all the drivers in 64 bit vista is to:

In the Start Menu Type “cmd”, then right-click on the program that appears and choose “Run As Administrator”.

Then enter;

D:
cd "Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple"
msiexec /i BootCamp64.msi

The drivers will now install and 64 bit vista will work flawlessly. i had win7 aswell but the patched nvidia updates where only available for xp/vista. seeing as i only used windows for some odd gaming win7 was no good (yet)

thats what i did from leopard on my macbook, boot camped to win 7, but couldnt find the custom nvidia drivers for win 7, only vista + xp so i got rid of win 7 and will wait for the final release.

ive nabbed a vista license from my old crapped out desktop for bootcamp which is perfect for work bits + gaming. i dont really mind vista?? win7 just feels like a smooth, ironed out vista when you are using it.

ill probably sell my macbook at the years end and get the new one next year with snow leopard installed. ill prob lose a couple 100£ on what i initially paid but it wil come with snow leopard OTB so i wont be losing to much.

the custom leopard drivers are made by a guy called Dox. They increase gaming performance - allot.

They haven't been updated to Win7 yet

And spazit101, os x is far more superior than anything else out at the moment os wise imo aswell, however, you have got to appreciate the advancements microsoft have made from vista in win7, its refreshing and good all round for everyone - means apple will have to step their game up for snow leopard
